• Man sentenced for money laundering in Cork Money laundering · Co. Cork

  Over €120,000 was sent through fraudulent means from Sweden and France via email re-direct fraud in April 2020, with two further sums transferred from France to the AIB account of James O'Rourke, a 76-year-old man from Crosshaven, County Cork. The defendant was drawn into the scheme through a Facebook friendship with a woman. He was detained for questioning by gardaí after both banks flagged the transactions and later pleaded guilty to two counts of money laundering. On 22 September 2021, Cork Circuit Criminal Court sentenced him to six months' imprisonment, suspended in its entirety, and an undertaking to keep the peace.
